Universal Pictures shared the second trailer for the upcoming film ‘Fast X,’ hitting theaters on May 19th.

The action-packed film will see the return of “The Family,” including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, Charlize Theron, and Scott Eastwood. The cast also features new members of the Fast Family, including Brie Larson and John Cena, who plays Dom’s brother.

The trailer begins with a Vatican City action sequence, and the villain portrayed by Jason Momoa unleashing a spherical bomb that Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) knocks off its path to its target. Momoa is playing a character connected to the safe heist from 2011’s Fast Five, who returns for revenge against Toretto and his family, both biological and those bonded by their love of auto racing.

Rob Zombie to reissue soundtrack to “White Zombie”

Rob Zombie is working on his new ‘Rob Zombie Presents’ reissue series, and has chosen the soundtrack to the 1932 horror film White Zombie as his first reissue in his series. White Zombie starred Bela Lugosi, and is considered to be the first-ever feature length zombie film. It was largely filmed on the Universal Studios lot using props from other horror movies at the time.

The film White Zombie is also where Zombie’s former band, White Zombie, got their name from in the mid 1980s. Says Zombie: “I have always been a huge fan of movie soundtracks, so I jumped at the opportunity to work with Waxwork on this project.  I can’t wait to release these albums. So many of these films are greatly underappreciated and they all contain such great music. So to be able to release these deluxe packages is a dream come true.”

The soundtrack to White Zombie is available here.

Jonas Brothers share their video for ‘Waffle House’

The Jonas Brothers have shared the new music video for their song, “Waffle House,” which was filmed during their recent visit to London.  “Waffle House” is set to appear on the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming sixth record, The Album, set to arrive this month. The visual opens with Joe Jonas in an underground club in the city before he goes and joins his brothers in the streets, and eventually follows them on stage at their recent sold-out gig at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.

Nick told Variety about his love for ‘Waffle House’: “It was a last-minute addition. At first, it was a bit of a head-scratcher, but the more I listened to it, the more I loved it. I think it really encapsulates a moment in time for us. Musically it taps into some of my favorites: Doobie Brothers and Bee Gees, and others from that era. It’s a really, really, fun song. We can’t wait to play it live.”

Check out the music video for “Waffle House” – here.
‘The Album’ is set to drop on May 12; to preorder, head here.
